B Food brings people together across cultures, but table manners can sometimes create quite a cultural divide. What seems normal in one country might leave visitors confused in another. Let's see some eating customs around the world. In Western countries, making noise while eating is considered rude. However,slurping(出声地吃) your noodles in Japan is encouraged! This is because slurping is considered a sign that you are really enjoying the meal. It also helps mix air with the noodles, making them taste better. So to a Japanese chef, the sound of your slurp is the best praise. In Russia, people believe that passing a salt shaker (盐瓶) directly from one person to another leads to an argument between them. Instead, salt should be placed on the table for the other person to pick up. While passing the salt at the dinner table, try not to spill it, or it could lend to an argument as well. If this happens, you should throw some spilled salt over your left shoulder and do it with a laugh. Then, everything should turn out just fine. In Italy, there's an unwritten rule that cappuccino should only be consumed at breakfast. If you order one after 11 am, or after lunch or dinner, the waiter might be a little surprised. This is because Italians think that milk is hard to digest(消化) and believe drinking it late in the day can hurt your stomach. In India, it's very common to eat with your hands.However, there is an important rule: you should only use your right hand. The left hand, considered unclean, mast not be used for eating. For this reason, people in India often use bread like naan to scoop up their food. 34. Why do Japanese people slurp when eating noodles? A. To cool the-noodles down. B. To show respect to the waiter. C. To show they enjoy the meal. D. To follow strict table manners. 35. Why must people avoid eating with their left hand in India? A. The left hand is used for drinking. B. The left hand is considered unclean. C. The left hand is too weak to hold food. D. The left hand is only for serving others. 36. What is the main purpose of this article? A. To encourage people to try new foods. B. To show how food can connect different cultures. C. To describe dining rules in several countries. D. To show why table manners are important to travellers. C I hoped to be set free one day, so I was nice to the Lilliputians. Gradually, ▲ Sometimes the children even played hide-and - seek in my hair. One day, the king said to me,“Gulliver, I invite you to watch an important performance. It is a contest called-Rope Dancing”. In the contest, a thin rope was tied between two poles very high above the ground. People had to dance on this rope. Each dancer tried to jump higher than the others. I had never seen such a dangerous sport. “Your majesty,” I said,“many dancers must fall and be hurt or killed.” “Yes,” he replied. But I will give the best jobs in my kingdom to the men who are not afraid and jump the highest.“What a strange way to choose who will work for the country!” I thought. Then, as the king watched, I tied each corner of my handkerchief(手帕) to a strong stick, and pushed the four sticks into the ground. My handkerchief was now under the rope but above the ground. Any dancer who fell would land on the handkerchief and not get hurt. The king was very pleased with my invention.His family and many other people watched the rope dancing. “Would you and the queen like to see better?” I asked the king. I gently put them on my hand and held it beside the rope. They had a good view of the dancers. One very skilled performer held on to the rope and flipped(翻转) his body right over it. The king and the queen clapped loudly and cheered. Later the king told me that he made this man one of his chief(首要的) advisers. The king and I met often. He seemed to enjoy our conversations. One day, I said again,“Your Majesty,please set me free.” This time he answered,“I have talked to my advisers. We agree that you have been good to our people...” 37. Which of the following can be put into ▲ ? A. they left me alone. B. they lost fear of me. C. they-were angry with me. D. they didn't care about me. 38. Who would take part in the contest? A.

D As a new way to reduce waste on the planet, the Stamp Egg Packaging(包装) made of Paper Foam(纸泡沫) stands out. Paper Foam is a kind of sustainable material which is good to the environment. As the name suggests, the Stamp Egg Packaging is inspired by stamps.Just like stamps, now you can take your eggs out one by one from this special package. And it has all the necessary features for an egg package ——allowing easy opening and closing, providing protection, and enabling stacking(堆叠). Differently, by using the Stamp Egg Packaging, people can use fewer plastic egg packages that cannot be recycled. This form of packaging also helps you easily count the eggs without opening the package. Less opening and closing of the package means the eggs are less affected by the temperature changes, which helps keep them fresh for a longer time. What's more, the independently packaged eggs can be easily packed for a picnic or in a lunch box. However, the development of the Stamp Egg Packaging is not easy at all. Its designer Yoon said, After trying different ways to make the Paper Foam look and work better, I planned to design something that people can use every day. Among many possibilities, my interest focused on egg packaging finally.”Since then, new package designs have been tested to replace the standard regular boxes. But non e of these new products could really compete with the cost-effective and high-performance boxes made of pressed paper. “It is not possible to fully achieve it in a short time,” Yoon said.“But I am sure the Stamp Egg Packaging- will stay green from beginning to end —— when it's made, used, and even thrown away!” 41. What is the main purpose of the Stamp Egg Packaging? A. To lower the cost of egg production. B. To better protect the environment. C. To make egg packages more colourful. D. To replace all the other egg packages. 42. How does the Stamp Egg Packaging keep eggs fresh for longer? A. By using recycled plastic materials. B. By using a special cooling technology. C. By reducing the times of opening and closing. D. By keeping the eggs in a dark place. 43. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage as an advantage of Stamp Egg Packaging? A. Making eggs taste better. B. Being convenient for picnics. C. Protecting eggs from temperature changes. D. Allowing easy counting of eggs without opening. 44. What did Yoon hope to do when creating this packaging? A. To design something for picnics. B. To make the material work better. C. To create something useful. D. To make something cheaper than plastic. 45. What does Yoon say about the future of this packaging? A. It will only be used for eggs. B. It will take less than a year to replace plastic. C. Pressed paper boxes are still the best option. D. It will remain good to the environment throughout its life cycle. 第二卷(非选择题)(共55分) 四、语言基础知识(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分) A)根据括号中所给的中文释义或音标写出单词，使语篇意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为46——50的相应位置上。 Fight Against E-Waste The latest UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report talks about the growing problem of e-waste.

Serious losses of food, happen from farmers' fields to customers' fridges. What's worse, pollution and natural disasters may cause food shortage. In developing countries, forty percent of food waste happens during harvesting and processing (加)They are also short of rapid transportation and refrigeration (冷藏), so a large number of crops may go b before they reach the market. Many farmers don't have enough money for industrial-sized fridges to keep their products in good conditions. Food waste is also discovered in developed countries. More than forty percent of food waste happens during the process of selling and buying. Shockingly, this amount reaches near the yearly food production in some part of Africa. In many cases, the vegetables and fruit are thrown away if they look“ugly”, falling short of industry standards. Polluting and destroying environment do harm to producing food. A few countries are reducing nature areas for growing food crops and raising livestock(牲畜). Most surprisingly, in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, 800 million trees in the past six years have been cut down to make beef cattle farms. Also, fish farmers still create a great deal of pollution as well as diseases. At present, it seems that food production doesn't reduce, but it may influence all the living things on the earth in the future. Natural disasters like droughts and storms can destroy a whole year's crop for an unlucky farmer.Climate change will make such events that were previously thought of as“once in a hundred years” hap more and more often. This means that we’ ll need more resources to produce the same amount of food. Food waste is harmful to humans, as well as other life on the earth. It's not only the problem on customers' dinner table, but also an international problem that must be dealt with by the governments.

One common problem for children with dyslexia is that they often have a hard time reading. Luckily,students here can make clear p 78 in pronunciation with special teaching methods. They might,for example, mix up letters like“b” and“p”, or even numbers like“9”. Rare Gem is one of the few schools in Kenya where such children can get the help they need. One student told AP News that at his old school,his teacher didn't understand him.“This school is much better. The support here has g 79 changed my life.” So how does it work? Students take part in activities such as linking letter sounds to colors, learning spelling patterns through songs and u 80 objects to stand for words. Dorothy Kioko said that as a teacher, she cannot just stand in front of students and give lessons.“You teach step by step u 81 the learner gets what you' re teaching,” she said. Teachers here are r 82 to be patient and creative to meet the students' needs. Rare Gem was set up in 2012. When it first opened, there were fewer than 10 students. Today, the school has around 210. Phyllis Munyi, who f 83 the school, said that if these challenges are identified(发现) early, students can“improve their skills and learn to identify their talents”. Many people offer v 84 help here, and some students even join the school's service projects for the b 85 of new learners. But getting them into education early is not easy. Geoffrey Karani, a former student at Rare Gem, is an art teacher at the school today.“I'm not only teaching; I'm showing kids that I' ve been on the same journey,” he said. 六、书面表达(满分15分) 时光荏苒，不知不觉中八年级的学习生活接近尾声。回首过去，一年来自己学习和生活上的成长与变化良多。你校将以“My growth and changes”为题举行演讲比赛,请根据征稿内容写一篇短文具体内容如下： 注意： 1.内容至少涵盖两个方面的要点，有适当发挥，全文连贯通顺； 2.词数不少于 80，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 3.文中不得提及有关考生个人身份的任何信息，如校名、人名等。 My growth and changes Hello, everyone!

Looking back on last year, I think I have changed a lot in some ways. In the past, I used to be very shy and was afraid to speak in public. However, my English teacher encouraged me to join the speech club. With her help, I practiced hard and took part in the school speech competition. To my surprise, I won the second prize! This experience made me more confident and outgoing. Besides, I used to waste a lot of time playing games on weekends. This year, I realized the importance of time management. I made a detailed study plan and started reading books in my free time. I also joined a volunteer group to help the elderly in our community, which has made my life more meaningful. I am really proud of my changes. I believe I will become a better person in the future. Thank you for listening! 5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
